This is a very reluctant sale but I'd rather the bike is loved and used by a new owner - its a lovely piece of British Design and engineering craftsmanship and I've never had any issues with it ( just the 'issues' with my maturity !! )
The bike will be packed very carefully in a proper cardboard bike box and will be sent insured and with tracking. ( cost from here in Northern Ireland to mainland UK may be between £45 - £75 depending on exact location )
I am totally new to this advertising bur a friend recommended 'RetroBike' as its used by proper enthusiasts who will appreciate what the bike is. ( more pictures available but unable to load at this time ) ( Not sure what this PM is but i will provide my contact details to anyone seriously interested ) - Regards - Alan

Re:

So tempting to bring it home! I live just up the road from where the old X lite factory was!

Don't worry whoever buys this will love and cherish it. Technically as it's 98 should be in the post 97 section but I think we can let you off for such a wonderful original bike. Just lower the bar ends a little as it's playing with my mind! Add a set of tan walls and it would be perfect. What an amazing thing, you must have really loved X-lite (well who didn't in the 90's). Your price is very fair so hold out for it

Remember seeing one of those bitd at Armstrong’s Bike Dock. Did you pick it up in NI?

Re: X-lite titanium pro

Really appreciate all the kindly comments- hopefully they will encourage a worthy new owner - yep agree that bar ends a bit high in photo - is there a restriction on the number of photos allowed ? - could only download 8 ... someone is very observant as yep it was bought from Armstrong Bike Dock in Lisburn. Bought it as frame / forks then bought the new X-Lite stuff etc from there to build it to the spec I wanted ( gradually saved the hard earned £ so I could get what I wanted ) - Used it 3 years in a row on the Co-operation Ireland Maracycle. Any other info just ask.
